Following the | Following the Hive's [[Hive-Ecumene war|war]] with the [[Ecumene]], Oryx created the [[Court of Oryx]], a group of [[Ascendant Hive]] comprised of his most powerful champions. They commanded legions and were capable of creating their own Throne's which earned them the right to enter [[Ascendant Realm]]s due to their dedication to the [[Darkness|Deep]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XXIX:_Carved_in_Ruin|XXIX: Carved in Ruin]]''</ref><ref>'''Destiny''', ''[[Court of Oryx]]''</ref> [[Krughor]], a spawn of [[Savathûn]] was the first Ascendant Hive raised into Oryx's court.<ref>'''Bungie''' (2014-9-9), ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted_Hive#Krughor|Krughor]]''</ref> Later, Oryx decreed a tithe system where each Hive would kill their enemies, take some to feed their own [[worm]], and tithe the rest to their superior.

Ten thousand years later, the Hive entered a [[Golden Amputation|war]] with the [[Taishibethi]] by sending [[Taken]] to blight their worlds and [[War_moon|War Moons]] to ram their orbitals and star webs. Krughor instigated the invasion with legions of [[Cursed Thrall]], while the [[Warpriest]] obliterated the Taishibethi counterattack. [[Mengoor]] and [[Cra'adug]] led an army to the Raven Bridge and killed Taishibethi for a decade.

With his Court soundly defeated, the Guardians progressed deeper into the Dreadnaught and challenged the Warpriest who used an [[Oversoul]] in the form of the Oculus capable of killing anyone not standing behind the shadows of his three monoliths in the room. The Guardians overwhelm the priest and make way into [[Golgoroth's Cellar]], where the mighty Golgoroth emerges to attack them with its Eye Blasts. Waves of [[Thralls]], [[Acolytes]] and [[Adept]]s support Golgoroth in resisting the Guardians, but would be fruitless as they exploited a weakness near its opened chest which put the Hive monstrosity to rest.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[King's Fall#Golgoroth|King's Fall]]''</ref> | With his Court soundly defeated, the Guardians progressed deeper into the Dreadnaught and challenged the Warpriest who used an [[Oversoul]] in the form of the Oculus capable of killing anyone not standing behind the shadows of his three monoliths in the room.
